Thujopsis Dolabrata Variegata

This is a fine variegated variety of Tbujopsis dolabrata, apparently of a lax and spreading habit, the branches flattened and glaucous beneath, very much resembling those of some of the free-growing kinds of Selaginella. This variety differed from the ordinary form in having its twigs freely blotched with white, producing a pretty and well-marked variegation. It had obtained a Silver Banksian Medal at the great exhibition already alluded to.

Thunbergia Coccinea, (Red-Flowered Thunbergia)

This beautiful and gigantic climber has been called, also, T. pendula and Hexacentris coccinea. It is a native of the jungles in all the hilly regions of tropical India. It has at length bloomed in the ample space of the Palm-house at Kew. - (Ibid., t. 5,124).

Thunbergia Natalensts

A fine greenhouse evergreen subshrub, with opposite ovate acute sessile largish leaves, and stalked axillary horizontally-placed flowers, which are large and showy, with the curved tube yellow and the spreading limb of a pale blue. Natal.

Thunder And Lightning

In Arago'g Meteorological Essays, lately published, many latitudes are given where the phenomenon of thunder and lightning are unknown; those among the inhabitants of Lima in Peru for instance, who have never travelled, can form from their own experience no idea of thunder, and they are equally unacquainted with lightning, for even noiseless and sheet lightnings never appear in the atmosphere of lower Peru, often moist, bat never showing true clouds. Arago sums up his inquiry by saying that the most brilliant and extensive flashes of lightning which appear to embrace the whole extent of the visible horizon, have not a duration equal to the thousandth part of a second of time!

Thunderer

Dr. Grant: None superior; large, productive, and high flavor.

Thuyas - Arbor Vitaes

The Siberian is the most beautiful when young. T. fili-formis (weeping) is a desirable plant, and T. aurea, for its variegated foliage.

Torreya taxifolia proves hardy. I have seen a small plant that has been out unprotected for several years. It is very pretty in its young state.

Pinus pumilis, from its slow growth, may be ranked as a shrub. It is well adapted for rounding off plantations, or merging them into low shrubbery, planting at angles and bends of walks. Set out by itself in a lawn, it forms a superb rounded mass of close, stiff shoots and foliage.

Tick's New Catalogue

Vick's new Catalogue for 1871, is far more profusely embellished with engravings than ever. The rapidly increasing extent of his business has demanded more room and better accommodations for the transaction of it. He has lately moved into a new building forty feet wide, five stories high, and 200 feet deep, and most conveniently arranged for the purposes designed. We are astonished at the magnitude of his correspondence. In busy times the mails will average 2,000 to 2,600 letters per day, and there are 125 hands kept constantly at work. Is not this a great success for ten years constant effort ? And the cause of it all is, liberal advertising.

Tick's New Catalogue #1

It is much the handsomest of American catalogues yet issued, and is hereafter to be issued quarterly.
